A hypothetical

[x-emplate.livejournal.com]

Supposing one were to be messing about with one's personal file in the team database and happen to clear one's temporary codename, strictly in the interest of seeing how alternatives might appear on the page. Suppose this were to temporarily revert the entry title to "TEMPLATE".

Then suppose one, whilst attempting to remove said placeholder, appears to have frozen said system in the midst of clearing the first T, leaving this selfsame one currently confronted with a screen which now rather distressingly insists itself to be _EMPLATE.

How would one go about fixing this? In the strictly theoretical sense, of course.

It violates the Syllabic Law! It must be banished!

If I bite my tongue off trying to yell your codename across like, some big fighty thing, it will be ALL YOUR FAULT.

[x-legion.livejournal.com]

Ever opening my mouth about potential codenames for Clarice.

. . . and now, reminding people that was me.

The family that swaps bodily fluids is the family most likely to be mentioned in lurid paperbacks...

[x-emplate.livejournal.com]

Which, oddly, is still more fluid to the tongue than "Chupacabra."

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

BOO. FAIL.

[x-roulette.livejournal.com]

Can I call you Emmy for short?

If you buy me dinner, I will not let anyone know that you are killing fish monsters in your server room.

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

Uh, yeah. Remember, some of us are getting old and might actually have forgotten, without the reminder.

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

I think you just hoist yourself by your own petard, there.

Take heed from one who would know: implications of tragical Greek myths aside, any possible titillation is rendered quite moot by the forced introduction of bloody huge needles to my longbones.

And though there may be exceptions to this assertion, I for one could quite happily live my entire life without once being proven right on this count.

Or those creepy ass V.C Andrews books.

what? It was the only thing in the airport bookstore that didn't TOTALLY suck. Don't you judge me.

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Why are you booing me? Yours only violates the Syllabic Law if you're not yelling it in a hurry, at which point it turns into about two.

[x-roulette.livejournal.com]

Kyle's codename sounds like it should be a bad 80's hair band anyway. WyldChyld or something.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

I shall revise. If you buy me dinner, I will not tell Pete, Remy or Betsy.

Wanda is in Russia with her midget, so you are safe from her. I am not sure Sofia would care. I am almost certain if I told Emma there would be marmosets somehow invoked and I do not want that.

[x-emplate.livejournal.com]

That all depends. If you do, I believe the presentation of a tasteful gold statuette would be first in order. Just to address the obvious upfront.

[x-roulette.livejournal.com]

Calling it what it is might help better this is regard. Marrow transfer sounds better than "Having my sister's DNA shoved in me with a big fricking needle."

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

I'm skeptical.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

BOO. FAIL.

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

Well, if you want to be technical, I'm beta-testing -while- I watch Pete's latest query run.

But I accept anyway.

[x-roulette.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'll see about working statuette presentation into our training scenarios, just so that it doesn't interrupt in the heat of battle and all that.

[x-emplate.livejournal.com]

And yet all else pales beside Laurie's current nom de guerre . . .

Though I suppose "Discharge" could also be considered a form of tactical obfuscation. Whilst calling for Laurie's aide, one might potentially reap the small side-benefit of briefly seizing your opponent with the fear a trip to the free clinic may be in order.

[x-roulette.livejournal.com]

I vote we tweak the computer so that she can't change her codename when she graduates. Wouldn't want to lose the tactical advantage and all...

[x-sway.livejournal.com]

What was Clarice's?

Tinky Winky.
